Huh. My Ubiquiti was reporting WAN link down during this outage. I'm using ATT fiber. I'm wondering if "link down" doesn't mean what I think it means. Now that I check, it says "WAN iface [eth2] transition to state [inactive]". I'm wondering if that means link down or if it's doing service checking.

I actually have a WAN2 configured but not plugged in and it was set to "Load Balancing: Failover Only" ... I wonder if all of my 'connection issues' were software assuming my network link is down and switching interfaces to an unavailable one.



to reply to myself, if you have a second interface configured for failover, it actually tests against ping.ubnt.com. I bet every single time my ATT fiber has "gone out" for a minute or two at a time, it's been bogus.
